Baby Names

On Sunday we found ourselves on the back patio with a few friends, Cousin, some wine, and an extremely friendly and apparently lonely stray cat.

A stray cat that took a liking to the FYO.

And with whom the liking was mutual.

The FYO named her "Penelope".

Needless to say, we fell in love with her and now, are seriously considering adopting her.

This morning, though, BioMom referred to the feral feline as "Penny".

Um. You can't call her "Penny." "Penelope" yes. "Penny" no.

She caught on immediately and went on to the topic of baby girl names.

Rule One: no Ex names.

According to BioMom, after we subtract her two Ex-names, that leaves us the following three possibilities for our baby girl:
"Gertrude", "Stacy", and "Madison."

Let's hope its a boy, leaving us many more options.

That's interesting. We have a much longer list of boy's names than girl's names too. And, as fate would have it, we are expecting a second girl! But I'm sure by November we will come up with something. I like your no-ex rule!
